    The emergency stop will probably be causing it because of the sudden extra pressure on the front tyres.  Mine goes off when it has been cold & I heat the tyres up quite quickly by going on a motorway.  It is annoying because you worry that if you do nothing it will actually go flat & it is bound to be in the worst possible place.

    Happy Monday 😁☕️ The sun is shining here, it makes such a difference.
    I’ve only managed just under 3k steps so far today so will need to have a march about before tea 😅 MrWW is off work so may come for a stamp around the beach with me. He was supposed to be on nights, but booked it off, so we have night shift friendly ready meals today. I love not cooking! 
    I dropped an enormous 0.1 of a pound this morning… it makes it all worthwhile 😬 I feel like I’ve been attempting to get to 1 stone and 1 pound for about 3 months! 
    I hope you are all having a happy sunshiny Monday 🌞

    I’m slacking a bit this week! My time seems to be filled with work, marching around getting steps, cooking and sleep 😬 I do need more hours in the day (not working hours 😅). This morning I went up half a pound…how is it possible? The posh scales do say I’m increasing muscle and losing fat, but it’s not helping towards my next stone goal. I want to update my signature to at least 1stone and 1lb 🤣
    I hope you are all having a good week. We’ve had plenty of sunshine ☀️

    Have you taken your measurements? You might see a good reduction that way. They do say it’s your waist measurement that’s the important thing health wise.

    Hi WW, hope all is well with you, missing your posts x
    I’m here 😅 Sorry, I feel like I’m boring the pants off of everyone with my daily posts sometimes 🤭 It’s all work and dullness! I was checking ahead of Friday pay day and I have disappointingly only increased by £185 this month. This is because of the oil delivery and buying MrWW’s birthday present early, plus some ridiculous squandering 🙄 To stick to what I want to save back next month I need to exist on just £165 in May 😢 This is after every expected expense, but it still feels a bit sad. 
    To cheer myself up I virtually filled a fortn*m &mason basket with all the nice biscuits and treats I fancied and it came to £368 🤣. I did not check out! 
    I managed to get down the next 1lb, but it took a couple of weeks and this is with keeping the step count up every day and the calories on track. My middle aged spread does not want to unspread without a fight! 
    …and it was snowing earlier!! 
    I hope you are all having a great day 😁

    Well here I am, back again (but not the real slim shady 🤭)
    it keeps snowing! Not settling, but even so, ridiculous weather. Last week I was in the garden without a coat and now it’s the arctic again. I hope the little pansies in my hanging baskets are hardy.
    Just work again today. It’s been so busy I have struggled to get my steps in as I’m having to cut short my lunches. I’ve been given a helper (as I have double the workload I should have) as a temporary fix until some can be handed elsewhere, but training the helper (who is lovely) and working out what I can pass over is almost harder than doing it all myself 😅
    I am attempting to stay firm and not spend anything else until Friday pay day…it’s so hard! I’ve had a shocking spendy month and should be ashamed.
    ohhhh and I went down 0.4 this morning and am balancing on the next pound bracket…woohoo 🤣
    I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday 🌞
